Don't Focus on Fear

Most people get so stressed out and let the thoughts of ‘What
If’ start running through their mind. I’m sure almost everyone
reading this blog immediately thought of the term ‘What If’ in a
negative way. That’s because this is how most people view these
situations in life, from the standpoint of a fear of what could go
wrong.... What if she doesn’t like me. What if I fail. What if I
lose my job.

The problem being created is that you are now planting those
negative thoughts in your head. You are giving them attention. You
are giving them your focus. Now the fear just grows and feeds off
itself. Then before you know it, imagine that, the What If becomes a
reality. Well, what did you expect?

You need to turn every “What If” into a positive “What if”.
Every time you catch yourself saying “What If” in a negative
way, immediately focus on the “What If” in a POSITIVE way.

What if she doesn’t like me? Now becomes; What If she falls in
love with me?

What if I fail? Now becomes; What If I do really well on this
presentation and land this new account?

What if I lose my job? Now becomes; What If I get that promotion?

Start thinking about what the positive “What If” looks like
and feels like. What does that promotion make you feel like? What
does your life look like with that new paycheck coming in? What does
a new love with significant other look like, how does it make you
feel?

Doesn't it feel better to think like this, instead of having that
negative “What If” in the back of your mind? Your focus is now on
positively working for you to create your new reality of the positive
“What If”. And guess what? That is what you are going to see in
your life because you are focused on it, believing in it, and you are
feeling it.
